Jezebel is part of the original Gawker Media (now "Go Media") network, and is a glorified blog. Hardly a "news outlet".

It's also not even scab behavior. Scabs are people who take shifts at places where unions are on strike. This is a store with no union, so he's not doing union work. It's maybe anti-union, but it's not scab-y.

And while I'm generally pro-union, my experience with unions is they are very, very against non-union members doing union work. So if Ed Sheeran wanted to pick up a shift at a Starbucks for a promo, I can see why he might have had to pick a non-union location. I'd be curious to find out if he asked or what his agents discussed. Doesn't seem likely to me that Sheeran himself said "I want to do manual labor for several hours, make sure it's at a union-busting location."

This whole story seems overblown.

Typically they aim for the heart. Not exactly an immediate or painless death.

I'd rather have the nitrogen.

I mean, it's maybe cultural to a degree, it's an Australian article and I'm American, but like, it's still grass. "Actual" isn't a scientific or technical term.

And for all we know, she was picking lemongrass in addition to the greens.

That's not true, 70% of all human crops are grasses. "Grass" is much more than just the typical American lawn.

Various grasses can be used as spices or herbs, like lemongrass, and the "warigal greens" mentioned are a type of spinach.

But like, he didn't design or build it himself. His company did.

So by that logic he's still the same as Musk, who insisted on a mass-market EV car or reusable rockets.

They already did a static fire with the new deluge system and it seems to work just fine.

The FAA has continued to trust SpaceX and issue licenses as they address issues. Keep in mind the FAA issues launch licenses for each of the hundreds of Falcon 9s they've launched so far, has issued more launch licenses for them than for any other company ever, and has a long working relationship at this point.

Iterative design isn't really a problem and we wouldn't have reusable rockets at this point without it.

Unless you've got a source I'm not familiar with, the only time anyone opened fire on the protestors was in the hall where Ashley Babbitt died, and that was confirmed to be Capital Police.

He's sentenced to death because he committed a capital murder in a state with the death penalty and a jury found him guilty. "I did it for money" is not exactly a legal defense. An innocent person was still killed, and arguably doing it for money is worse. Fuck him.

The other guy involved in the killing has already been executed, over ten years ago. It's a well documented case and took me about a minute of Googling to figure out this guy isn't particularly being singled out for death and the other got a lighter sentence.

I personally don't believe in the death penalty, but also if he didn't want to be executed for murder, he shouldn't have committed murder in the deep south.

Sure, but as long as they have the death penalty, it's probably best they do it as humanely as possible.

Some states are bringing back firing squads, which definitely feels like a huge step back. If they're going to kill someone, using an actual painless option instead of lethal injection or shooting them seems like as much of a step forward as we can get up to actually not executing people.

All you have to do is look at the times the government has got it wrong on convictions of people who turned out innocent to realize maybe the government shouldn't make the decision to kill people.

Look up the innocence project.

Because he accepted money in exchange to brutally beat and stabbed a person to death. "Just following orders," has never been an acceptable excuse for an individual to commit a crime, but especially when it's not an order in a military hierarchy, it's payment and a voluntary agreement. Fuck him.

Sennet Sr. committed suicide the moment the police started to investigate him. That's why he's not about to be executed.

Indeed, that's about 10 to 100 times more accuracy than other automakers. Those tolerances just aren't necessary so no supplier is going to have the tools or infrastructure in place to make parts to such a high degree. Body shop alone sees fluctuations in millimeters because industrial robots can't do any better than half millimeter accuracy, if they're brand new.
